Apple Store goes down ahead of iPhone SE + more announcements later today

On schedule, the Apple Online Store has gone down ahead of the media event later today. The website reads ‘We can’t wait to show you what we have in store’.

At 10 AM PT in Cupertino, Apple will hold its March press event. The company is expected to announce a new 4 inch iPhone, dubbed the iPhone SE, as well as a 9.7 inch iPad Pro and updates to its Apple Watch line.

The full text on Apple’s website says:

Our virtual doors are just about to open. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and your patience as we work to get everyone in as quickly as possible. Keep checking back, because it won’t be long now.

The message rotates between various languages and translations. Along with new hardware, which will no doubt be available to buy or preorder from Apple’s website after the event is over, we are also expecting release announcements for all of Apple’s operating systems: iOS 9.3, watch OS 2.2, tvOS 9.3 and Mac OS X 10.11.4.

Keep it locked to 9to5Mac as we will be bringing full coverage of all the announcements as they happen. Apple will be live-streaming the event on its website.
